I love this show! I watch it whenever it's on. It has plus size models. (I think one won a few cycles ago...I'm not sure.) over all It's a good show for tweens. (ages 10 and up, as i think of it.)

Great show and getting greater. Watch it with your kids and it can help with body image and self esteem--to help them to not think this is the ideal. Some of it is way too over the top and catty. Could be a great educational tool. Tyra seems to be trying to show that a woman can be gorgeous no matter her size.

This is my absolute favorite show ever! It's very entertaining. Tyra Banks is a good role model. The swearing on the show mainly comes from the contestants. The b word is said sometimes. But it's pretty rare that anything stronger is said. ( and if it is it is bleeped) some contestants smoke on this season, (but they do not talk about it) you should at least try this show at least once you may be very pleased.

I am a very proud mother of three. My daughers (just turned 11) both love this show. OF COURSE the girls are judged on how well they can take a picture. That's what models DO. This is a very good show for girls, especially tweens aspiring to be models. It shows the entire picture- yes, it's glamorous, but it's also alot of work. Tyra is a very good role model, and it's always fun to see who gets eliminated. Trust me, your girls won't become anorexic from this show. (Plus- size models have been in several seasons and made it quite far, and really were judged just like everyone else.)

ssssssoooo csm did a greajob rating on this but NEVER IFFY FOR 14. OFF for ages 12 and under IFFY for age 13 and ON for ages 14 and up Why is the reason it's iffy for 13 year olds because i would recommend this for 13 plus. WARNING: It has no violence(but the sometimes negative role models will be a little bit violent, ok?), there is messages (that are negative) and role models (both negative), S**ual and Nuddy Shots, There are no bad words in the N*ked Shoots Version, Lots of consumers and drugs. I think this scene is questionable, i rate this scene a 0-2 and sometimes 3 stars. The only highlight is the Sometimes Positive Role Model(s). This Scene i rate this is a 3 star mostly 4-5 stars. in my suggestion, don't say 13-14.

But as 2-young 10 will handle bad words such as "g--" and mature 10-25 it's fun to watch Americas! And 26 and up may find g--ness

I do not like this show at all. The contestants often come from circumstances so difficult that this show is a huge gamble for them, an all or nothing attempt to make it big on nothing more than their currently fashionable looks and photographability, and when only one woman wins and the rest go back to what they came from it must be devastating for them. In addition,the message is that a worthy model will do anything asked of them, including giving their all when seriously ill, or undergoing painful beauty treatments, or posing nude and/or kissing someone (often not well-known to them) just for the sake of a photo. These are not the values I want my three girls to embrace. Though the show claims to promote healthy values for girls, such as an episode that discouraged eating disorders, a perfectly beautiful and healthy-looking contestant was eliminated for being a few pounds overweight. (She looked just right, so she must have even been a bit on the too skinny side if t.v. adds wight to people's appearances.) Several of these down-and-out contestants are mothers who have left their babies for a long time to be on this show. I don't know why people want to watch often desperately unfortunate women gambling and putting everything on the line for a chance at stardom instead of encouraging them to work equally hard at furthering their educations and get work that would give them and their families security and stability. I hate how the contestants grovel at the feet of Tyra Banks who acts like an omnipotent Goddess who holds their entire futures in the palms of her hands. She and the other judges are often so cruel in their discourse on the worthiness of the contestants based solely on their appearances. Though there may be profanity, I am much less offended by that than the messages insidiously delivered to us on a silver platter. The whole show makes me really sad for the state of our values.

This show is awsome thats for sure. Theres no real suggestive content so its ok for tweens and up. The only thing that is suggestive is what the models but you should already know that by the title.
